The Semrau Lab is interested in quantitative stem cell biology. We use molecular profiling and machine learning to study iPSC-derived disease models.

Congratulations to DR. Maria Mircea for defending her PhD thesis today! It was a true honor to serve on her committee and I'm so inspired by the amazing work! Congrats also to @SemrauLab, the proud mentor!
Received my PhD today! Many thanks to my supervisor @SemrauLab. Thanks to @ItaiYanai for being part of my committee. And also thanks to my paranymphs @JuliaEckert10 and @GeorgeDadu_!

New Night Science paper! "What puzzle are you in?" Doing science is like solving puzzles; of which we propose there are 4 Classes. But in a research project, you can't be sure what kind of a puzzle you're in; requiring "puzzle-switching". genomebiology.biomedcentral.… @MartinJLercher

Ever hear that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’? In our new work, we found that it’s also true for cancer cells as they continuously adapt to drug treatments. We call it a ‘resistance continuum’ that's dependent on treatment history. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @Gustavo_SFranca

Basic science is the most powerful process in the universe for generating knowledge, but it is often misunderstood. It says 'let scientists follow their curiosity and sometimes they will discover great things'. The discovery can come from anywhere, from anyone, studying anything.

3 recent preprints have shown the formation of neural tube like structures in gastruloids. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… In all cases, despite protocol differences, gastruloids show a very potent morphogenic capacity.

Also, if you think only jerks can be super successful scientists, let Shalev Itzkovitz serve as the ultimate counterexample—a lovely person! xitter.cf/arjunrajlab/status/895…
